Mahindra Bolero Price in India 2026

The Bolero is powered by the battle-hardened mHawk75 Diesel engine. This 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged unit is specifically tuned for low-end torque, allowing the vehicle to pull heavy loads or navigate slushy terrain without stalling.

Output is focused on reliability. While 75 PS might seem low compared to modern monocoque SUVs, the power delivery is linear and robust, ensuring consistent performance even in extreme heat or dusty conditions.

The Bolero’s "grunt" comes from its 210 Nm of torque. Most of this torque is available at very low revs, which is why it is often chosen for hilly regions and carrying 7 passengers with ease.

To maintain its low-maintenance reputation, the Bolero uses a simpler Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) setup. This reduces the number of moving parts, making it easier and cheaper to service in remote areas.

The Bolero comes with a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission. The gear ratios are "short," designed for high load-bearing capacity rather than high-speed highway cruising.

The RWD setup with a rigid leaf-spring rear suspension provides the necessary traction and durability required for unpaved roads and heavy cargo.

A 180 mm ground clearance allows it to clear large stones and deep ruts. While lower than the Thar, the Bolero's metal bumpers and underbody protection make it highly resilient to scrapes.

In recent Bharat NCAP evaluations, the Bolero scored 3 Stars for Adult protection, thanks to its heavy steel body. However, Child safety is rated at 1 Star due to the lack of ISOFIX mounts and the use of side-facing jump seats.

The Bolero features a unique 5+2 layout. The third row consists of two side-facing "jump seats" that can be folded to create a large cargo area of 384 litres.

Despite its old-school vibe, the 2026 Bolero includes a basic digital instrument cluster that provides clear readouts for speed, fuel level, and the "Micro-Hybrid" (Start-Stop) status.
